View the List of Running Services - Windows XP

[Itronix]

To manage the Windows services, you are probably using the console service. For a list of those running, to determine the useful services for example, the simplest is through the command line.

1. Click the Start button and then click Run.
   
   
2. Type the command cmd and click Ok.
   
   
3. In the command prompt window that appears, type the command net start and press the Enter key.
   
   
4. The list of currently running services is displayed.
   
   
5. To copy this list in a text file, type the command net start> C: \ Services.txt.
   
   
6. Services.txt file in the root of local drive C: \ contains the list of services running.
   
   
7. Note that for more information on the services running, you can use the command sc query type = service.

Hello, there is another way of doing also it is like When you bring up the Task Manager you'll see an entry for Services and the amount of memory consumed. However this one listing is actually all the Services combined into a single entry. As you can see I have them trimmed down to only the Services needed for this machine.

To view the complete list:

From a command prompt: Start | Run (type) cmd (click Ok)

(type) tasklist /svc (press Enter)(XP Pro only)

You will see all the Services running in process.
To save the onscreen info:

• Right-click and select: Select All
• Right-click again and select: Mark
• Open Notepad and Paste the info
• File - Save As: tasklist.txt
• or
• (type) "tasklist /svc >tasklist.txt" (no quotes)
